I do remember one of his economics lectures on aggregate demand and explaining keynsian economics he kept prefacing everything with "Im not saying this actually how the economy works, I'm just teaching you theory behind it". If i had to guess he's prob also a libertarian

Liberals when they hear this:

NOO, the working class cant own the means of production, they need to meet

I was taught about socialism in school, and it honestly seemed very reasonable to me, especially when contrasted with capitalism.

What i wasnt taught was about countries successfully implementing socialism (the USSR was apparently deviating from socialism) and so I just thought it was yet to ever work. Also I was taught the Nazis were some variant of socialism.

Then you get older and start becoming anti-socialist because "my stonks" or "the free market provides the best solution for all". I think thats because anything socialist introduced into a capitalist society highlights the contradictions of capitalism. Then you need to come to the understanding that socialist reforms dont work, and the only way socialism can work is a complete transformation of society.

As Lenin (or I think Marx) states, you need to smash the old state and create a new one, the working class cannot simply lay hold of the state machinery to use it for its own advancement

As others said, the anti-communists of the past were much more competent and created the state apparatus that can have any idiot pilot it while suppressing the left. We are just at the point where the idiots are piloting it.

Him being so outwardly angry with Israel and not as much on Iran must mean behind the scenes Iran is being pretty reasonable and Israel, like we all know, is not

Im so sorry

Seems like a lose lose for them

I think something similar happened in San Francisco where the cops just refused to do their jobs because they were unhappy with the DA, and eventually he got recalled

Companies are supposed to eat the tariffs according to Trumponomics

Soo is he getting a slap on the wrist?

And he had a cool hat

Its really too bad the soviet union didnt last long enough that it couldve been around while the empire is in full decline. At the same time, maybe this decline wouldnt have happened had it been around.

Well, on the bright side wars can start revolutions

I just hate that people buy the narrative that we need to penny pinch to the point where you cant take a day off otherwise the American economy is going to explode. Pretty sure if 100% of the bullshit jobs went away and people got paid the same as if they had them, our economy wouldnt be any different

I mean alot of them are petty bourgeois small business owner tyrants and might even work during holidays so they probably want everyone at their level

In my experience people think im unconditionally for Russia if I make any criticism of Ukraine

There will be tremendous bloodshed, no doubt, it'll be horrific

This is exactly what im pessimistic about

Jesus this sounds terrible.

Ive been very pessimistic about Iran. They are up on their own against the US empire. Maybe Pakistan can deter them? Idk

Healthcare plan is also coming in two weeks

Yea i think youre right. Hegseth is just there as a yes man, and I dont think he considered that he would need an actually competent secretary of defense because he probably genuinely thought he could end the wars overseas. And you can see there is the MAGA base that doesnt want war with Iran, which some have pointed out here, is because they want to use the military at home.

The material reality contradicts with Trump's ambitions, and the US cannot become isolationist
